    Hello! Is this flower a digitalis? I haven't been able to get a positive species ID for digitalis, so perhaps not. I have no idea . . . can someone help, please!

    It was photographed in Somerset, UK.

    Thank you!

    Looks more like Penstemon digitalis and not Digitalis

    Hmmm, it doesn't have the purple stems. Is that normal for Penstemon digitalis? I'm just going by its Wikipedia entry! :-/
